Never compare yourself to others, you are uniquely unique and no one can do things exactly like you.

The secret of success in life is to be yourself not others.

Trust in God with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know.
Remember God in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.

My candid advices are:

1. Put your trust in God and not in Man. Whoever puts his/her trust in man would be disappointed but however put his/her trust in God would never be disappointed or put to shame;

2. Be educated up to university level because education is power;

3. Do your best to learn a skill or handwork such as programming, graphic design, web design etc. because it would help add to your streams of incomes;

4. Be mindful of the friends you keep. They may make or mar you;

5. Marry earlier so that you can train your children earlier in life if you have the resources to do so. Also marry a lady that would be supportive and not over-demanding;

6. Attend church or mosque services because it would help in building your faith in God; and

7. When you start earning money, you should think of buying a land either in your place of residence or your village and erect a residential building so that you can have a house of your own and not be paying house rent

Put God first and Listen to your parents and follow their guidelines, also start a business even though is small plz just start for somewhere, it will help you alot, also avoid women else they will drag you down and avoid bad friends else they will lead you astray.
Avoid drinking, smoking for your health purpose.

Don't start your life borrowing, so you don't spend the rest of your life sorrowing! 🙅
Re: Men Over 30 Give Advice To Men In Their 20s by daclint(m): 5:32pm On Aug 13, 2025
Don't rush to grow up, you'll get there before you even know it, time flies by so fast,avoid borrowing or gambling, always make the best of every moment, and also if you're a guy and still struggling don't prioritize women, also remember your parents, show dem love. Call them often it means a lot to them, and also know that they won't be here forever, they will soon leave you. Oh before I forget, always pray for the best and prepare for the worst, take it from a 35 years old man

If possible, avoid any private salary job and if possible be a business owner.

Like most have said, focus on the grind. Your 20s is the time to build a strong foundation and structures that will set the pace for the rest of your life
Re: Men Over 30 Give Advice To Men In Their 20s by joe17: 5:55pm On Aug 13, 2025
Ask every girl you come across if she’s married and mean it. Even If you hear “yes” followed by laughter in an attempt to make it a joke, run brother, brother run, don’t do it!!!

Know your place (position) in the universe and if you're not happy with it, do something about it.
Hint: To go higher in the universe, you need a deeper root network.

Be anxious over nothing. The next 10yrs is always a different ball game. Some people didn't hit it until their 40s

20 - 30 is the best time you have all the energy in the world. Use it wisely and use your money, assets and knowledge to sustain yourself from 30 till death.
Re: Men Over 30 Give Advice To Men In Their 20s by Ayo8(m): 6:06pm On Aug 13, 2025
My 2 cent advise... Avoid broke girls, don't even give love a chance. They become a problem when they eventually upscale through you.
Avoid girls from broken homes so that your days may be long and joyous!

NB: Only very few from above circumstances turnout differently but bro, chances of picking the right one is too risky.

Lastly, be intentional about everything you do.
Re: Men Over 30 Give Advice To Men In Their 20s by Dpopsman123(m): 6:07pm On Aug 13, 2025
Don't be pushed, rather let your life be just, purpose driven, and commit to achieving them against all odds.

You will always derive real success and fulfillment from your purposeful achievements.

A word is enough!

You are not CAPABLE of helping anyone financially until you are financially secure
Re: Men Over 30 Give Advice To Men In Their 20s by delzbaba(m): 6:11pm On Aug 13, 2025
Please if you drink and smoke heavily, as in on a daily basis in your 20's, no matter how difficult it looks or sounds STOP IT NOW,,or else 30s and 40s will be tough health wise for real.

1. If you're from a poor background and privileged to get higher education pls pls pls and pls kindly go for professional course that will give you high change of securing a place in already saturated labour market. Do not study some yeye course like plant science, sociology, history, library science, philosophy etc

2. Never masturbate and learn to pray every morning before you go out. Don't forget masturbation bring about stagnancy, promise and fail. Is destiny silent killer

3. Never rely solely on your academic qualifications. Learn skills and the best skill for 21st century is digital tech skills. Also learn some physical skills like Pop, aluminium fabrications, interior decor etc

3. If you're from rich background, never look down on anybody in life, do not forget to help the poor and do that with common sense.

4. Run away from friends that always approach you with the best sportybet old for the weekend or the where to go for the weekend party. Keep that dude that always talk about business.

5. Learn how to sell and get what to sell.

6. Owing a laptop with access to WiFi may be your first big step to say bye to poverty. Instead of wasting much of your time Watching the latest movies of Netflix. Watch engaging videos on YouTube, learn as many as possible. Learn how to invest in stock and crypto; not for today but for tomorrow

Pursue God with everything in you, old age comes like a blink. Appreciate & honour your parents, you will see why they make those 'dumb' decisions very soon from now.

casualobserver:
As for 1) a father is human but every father wants his son to do better than him. it does not mean his advice is always right but it comes from a good place. most fathers want their sons to be better versions of themselves, most mothers see their children as insurance policies in old age.....fact!

2) if you focus on money or women they will control and derail you. You clearly havent experienced success. if you have you will know women chase successful men. The woman you are chasing is chasing a successful man. If you were successful you wouldn’t have to chase her. As for money, if you do the right things money will come. you are clearly too simple minded to understand. Money is a result of certain actions, if you perform those actions money always comes. Please the good book that says he who finds a wife doesnt mean chase every girl you see. You wont find her. because the woman that make good wives are not found on the streets. They are usually a result of mutual friends etc. Most of the women you chase in clubs and church etc are actually the women you should run away from.

Please also note that you have to understand how to read the Bible, the bible describes the qualities of a good wife before it says he who finds a wife finds a good thing because the bible knows women are dangerous creatures. the Bible knows that women are plenty but good ones are few, that is why finding a wife is a described as a giood thing. Note the Bible did not say he who finds a woman , it says wife and it describes what a wife is. The same Bible actually advices single men not to marry but those who are married not to divorce. so dont take that quote literately that you should go around looking for a wife!

the more you chase the more these things elude you. i did not say sit down in one place and wait for money or women, if you do that you arent doing the right things.

You study hard you get a good job the good job is a result of studying
You go to a good school. you make good contacts the good contacts are a result of going to a good school
you study hard and go to a good school, you get a good job, a good job leads to good money and good opportunities. taking your job seriously and doing the right thngs leads to promotions, promotions lead to more opportunities, more opportunities and exposure leads to more money.

if you are a good tailor and you take your job seriously and dilligently, referrals will come from satisfied customers. You may have one high profile customer who recommends you to all his friends and as a result money comes. This is because you were professional in the aplication of your craft. if you instead see yourself as a hustler and over charge your customer because of money and do a bad job because or swindle him, he wont come back and that 1 customer may have been the customer that could change your life. apart from that your regular customers will stop patronising you or wont recommend you because you are too focused on money.

this is what i mean when i say money and success will come if you do the right things. in fact one of the great lessons in life is that the more you chase something the more it eludes you.

if you chase money, you will do yahoo yahoo or other crimes because money is your objective.
You have to be a joker
Lol
So if you you achieve financial success it automatically meams that you will magically know how to handle and treat women
You are a real joker
I have friends who are very successful who are hopeless with women because they ignored women for so long all in the name of chasing success
Its dumb advice really, how can you filter what you have no solid experience with
